Hello,

The timing belt should be changed between 90,000 and 110,000 miles. To change the timing belt will require you removing the front balancer and timing cover.

Here is a guide to show you how to remove the balancer:

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
